B. Apply Read/Write permissions to the CM hard drive

Windows Vista/7/8 Instructions You will need to grant Read/Write Permissions in Windows Vista and 7/8 if you are getting a Jet Database error, this means you do not have write permissions on the external hard drive. Even if you are an Admin on your computer, Windows Vista and some Windows 7/8 will auto block you from writing to an external hard drive.

7. Click OK for changes to take effect. Click OK and a final OK to exit from Properties window.

C. #TextRTF Error This error appears when you have an older incompatible RTF Text component. To resolve this error:

1. On the CM Start-up menu, select RTF Setup Utility from the Setup category. NOTE: If your CM startup menu does not have a RTF Setup Utility button then you need to update your CM or follow the manual steps below.

Manual Steps 1. Click My Computer and navigate to C: > WINDOWS > SYSWOW64 if

SYSWOW64 does not exist then navigate to C: > WINDOWS > SYSTEM32. 2. Locate and delete RICHTX32.OCX if found. 3. Navigate to your CM_App folder on the CM hard drive and copy

RICHTX32.OCX, then paste in C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW64, or C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 if SYSWOW64 does not exist.

4. You will need to manually register the copied RICHTX32.OCX. Instructions below by Operating System.

D. I cannot save my User Profile on CM An error message appears after filling in your CM User Profile information then clicking on the Save Info button. The CM will not let you save the information you entered. To resolve this error: Make sure you have full read/write Administrative permissions on your CM drive. Please refer to page 16 of this guide, Apply Read/Write permissions to the CM hard drive.

E. MS Office FileType Fix Says I must be an admin to run (Windows Vista / 7 / 8)


19

When opening a presentation the slides open externally in MS PowerPoint and not in the CM display window even after running the File Fix utility. To resolve this error:

1. Click My Computer and navigate to CM hard drive > CM_App folder. 2. Right click on ftfix.exe and choose Run as administrator.

F. How do I repair and compress my CM core database? If you install an update and CM updater keeps telling you that a Pre-Login task is found, but it keeps failing and you are unable to proceed to the next update, you may have a database problem. Contact your Brigade POC or email [email protected] for help to repair and compress your database.

G. Apache OpenOffice conflicts with MS Office Some computers are running OpenOffice instead of MS Office. The CM needs MS Office installed in order to view the lesson materials. Even after uninstalling OpenOffice problems persist and CM does not open documents correctly and MS Office File Fix utility does not seem to help.

1. After uninstalling OpenOffice you need to re-establish the file association to MS Office.

2. Hit Start-->Run and type the command-line switch below into the box and hit Enter (or click OK). Note that there is a space before the slash:

a. For Word, type: winword /r b. For Excel, type: excel /regserver c. For PowerPoint, type: powerpnt /regserver d. For Access, type: msaccess /regserver

3. Run CM MS Office setup utility 4. Launch CM

H. General Firewall notes In order for the CM Tech support team to provide assistance via remote access, they will need to use the TeamViewer application. By default TeamViewer uses only the outgoing port 80 (HTTP) - no firewall configuration is necessary. Alternatively you can open port 5938 (TCP) for outgoing connections.

Computer Configuration and Setup Issues This section of the manual deals with errors that require installing or configuring software or hardware. If any of the following error messages display when you try to run the Curriculum Manager, then go to the section listed in the table for instructions on how to fix. This message displays when you first Launch the CM application or when you display a CPS slide or CPS Game

Complete Step A (page 22) This message displays when you open a Keyword game from the Keyword slide in a presentation

Complete Step B (page 23)

This message displays when you display a slide that has Flash animation content embedded



21

This message displays when you display a slide with Flash animation content embedded

Complete Step D (page 26)

This message displays when you try to open the CM Reporter or the CM Question Editor


This message displays after you have downloaded a CM Patch and the Update tries to run a Pre-login task



22

A. CM v2 cannot find the CPS IR receiver while CPS work fine with the receiver If the CPS clickers do not work, it might be because the eInstruction Device Manager is holding on to the IR receiver and not sharing with other programs. NOTE: Newer eInstruction software has a different icon on Windows Status Bar.

New icon , Old icon Solution:

1. Click on the eInstruction Tools Icon

Fig. 10 – Windows Status Bar

2. Click on eInstruction Device Manager

Fig. 11 – Device Manager Menu

3. Click on the CPS IR receiver icon

Fig. 12 – Device Manager Icon

4. Click on the Disconnect button


23

Fig. 13 – Device Manager Disconnect button

5. CPS IR receiver icon changes from green check to red X

Fig. 14 – Device Manager Status

6. Now eInstruction Device Manager is not holding on to the CPS IR receiver and can be used with other applications. Start CM v2 and if you skipped the CPS IR detection CM v2 will try to redetect it when you start a CPS question

CM v2 currently support ONLY CPS IR receiver and clickers. It does NOT support the RF receiver and clickers yet.

6. Click OK then close PowerPoint

D. PowerPoint error “Some controls on this presentation can’t be activated”

When navigating to slides with flash content you get an error “Some controls on this presentation can’t be activated. They might not be registered on this computer.” You must install the latest Flash plug-in to fix this. CM Startup menu >Required Plug-ins > install Flash under Adobe and follow the installation prompts.

E. When I launch CM Reports and Question Editor or when there’s a Pre-login task found I get an error

The most common cause of this error on Windows XP and Vista is missing the .NET framework 3.5 Service Pack 1. The .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 can be downloaded from Microsoft. A link to that download is found under the CM Startup menu > Required Plug-ins. If the .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 is installed and you still have issues launching reports and question editor, your CM core database might need to be repaired and compressed. See page 19 for help.


27

F. Antivirus and internet security programs The preferred Antivirus program to use is McAfee which you can download from the JROTC Portal. Login to the Portal and then click on Automation>Download Center. AVG If you are using the AVG Antivirus program, it may cause CM to run slow; slides may take a long time to load. This happens because AVG actively scans each file (slide, document, audio, movie, etc…) as it is opened, which delays its display in CM. To resolve this issue:

1. Open AVG. 2. Open Link Scanner and turn off the settings. 3. Open Resident Shield and turn off the settings.

Norton If you use the Norton Antivirus program, it may delete the CM Start menu (CM_Start.exe) off the CM drive. This happens when the new SONAR Norton component mistakenly identifies the startup menu as a security threat and removes it. To resolve this issue:

1. Restore the CM_Start.exe from Norton quarantine. 2. Make sure the box exclude from future scans is checked.

G. Wireless Troubleshooting

1. Click on Start, then Control Panel

I. USB Guidelines You can...

NOTE: Always use the safe removal procedure for your operating system when disconnecting the drive.

• You can connect or disconnect the drive while the computer is on.

• You can optimize drive performance by disconnecting other USB devices when

using your Iomega® drive. The performance of all USB devices decreases as additional USB devices are connected.

• You can avoid some system lockups by waiting at least 30 seconds after

connecting or disconnecting any USB device. Do not connect, disconnect, or use any other USB device during this time.


35

DO NOT...

• Do not connect or disconnect any USB device while the drive is transferring information. Data loss will result!

• Do not use USB extension cables with your CM drive. Data loss might result. • Do not connect the drive to a hub; connect only to the computer. • Do not connect USB and FireWire cables at the same time.

J. Microsoft PowerPoint 2013 Issues Microsoft PowerPoint 2013 has a problem displaying slides with active content (videos, animations, etc.). Until Microsoft releases a fix for the PowerPoint 2013 we recommend installing Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 alongside PowerPoint 2013. Note: You must run the FileFix Utility after the PowerPoint 2010 installation. You can get Microsoft Office 2010 from your school IT department or you can email [email protected] to request a copy from JROTC CM Support.

K. Microsoft PowerPoint File Block Settings

1. Launch PowerPoint. 2. Go to PowerPoint Options. 3. Click Trust Center on the left menu then click the Trust Center Settings button. 4. Click on File Block Settings and verify that all check boxes are empty. 5. Verify that Open selected file types in Protected View option is selected.
